I know how you feel, I'm the same way with the VA series. But it's just that I have all the others in paperback and I don't want to get this one in hardcover. And I'm not there in the series anyway, so I'll just take my time with the other books in the meantime.

I read Hush Hush and loved it, it's a really great book. Haven't read the others though. Let me know what you think of The Fallen because I was thinking about reading that one.
Hope you like them all :)

Melanie (melaina) Lol.. For Switzerland I did:-) Here any english book is twice the US price (at least, often more), and bookdepository had better prices than Amazon (especially since you don't pay shipping!), so for me, I got a deal, but I still spent half my paycheck :-)

What's your genre? :-) Let me know and I'll keep you updated:-)

Like I mentioned earlier, I can't recommend Lord of the Fading Lands enough! I acually broke down and ordered the next three by Wilson, Lady of Light and Shadows (Tairen Soul, Book #2) by C.L. Wilson King of Sword and Sky (Tairen Soul Series, Book #3) by C.L. Wilson Queen of Song and Souls (Tairen Soul Series, Book #4) by C.L. Wilson , just to know what happens to Rain and Ellie!!

Oh that does sound great!! Just added the first one to my shelf... hopefully I can find myself a copy of that one!

As for my genre... I love anything with a romance aspect to it, whether it be paranormal, historical or contemporary. But I would say my favourite would be paranormal!

Ok then :-) for PNR, I'd highly recommend reading Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunters, Gena Showalter's Lords of the Underworld, Lara Adrian's Breed series, and the first 7 or 8 Anita Blake books by Laurell K. Hamilton :-) I also enjoyed Robin T. Popp's Night Slayers series, Alexandra Ivy's Guardians of Eternity, and Karen Marie Moning's Highlander series (Beyond the Highland Mist is the first):-)
